Though I liked the artwork, and the diversity of the characters, I found this was not my cup of tea.

I’m always distressed by stories with utterly oblivious teachers, who somehow fail to see bullying even right in front of them. In this case, there are apparently no adults at all living in the student housing at a boarding school (Lord of the Flies!) and no one ever checks to see if kids come home. Sheesh, where’s Filch and Mrs. Norris when you need ‘em?

I also found the premise creepy, especially the murder at the beginning, though horror fans will probably enjoy the shivers.

Super cute artwork and story. It’s perfect for grades 3-6. It’s a tad shallow and the ending is abrupt, but overall I enjoyed.

Meh. I felt a little too old for this graphic novel. It felt like something you'd give to a kid to teach them not to worry about fitting in and to be themself.

I like the idea for this book but it would have been better as a multiple book series.

There were a lot of parts where I demanded more explanation.

Also, you mean to tell me that kids are going missing and it is not a bigger deal?

A spooky little middle grade graphic novel about two sisters, loving yourself for who you are, and grief.

There's not much to it, but I love it.
